Christmas Countdown - 2011

she's 17 months old now and what a personality! she's amazing and so funny, but nobody told me how hard raising a toddler would be! the tantrums are horrendous!!! cheesy

It is fun to see them grow up, I have that terrible 2's going on right now but graduating into horrible 3's in 2 weeks, but like Gremlins they have rules:

1. If I like it, it's mine
2. If it's in my hand, it's mine
3. If I can take it from you, it's mine
4. If I had it a little while ago, it's mine
5. If it's mine, it must NEVER appear to be yours in anyway
6. If I am doing or building something, all the pieces are mine
7. If it looks just like mine, it's mine
8. If I saw it first, it's mine
9. If you are playing with something and put it down, it automatically becomes mine
10. If it's broken, it's yours.

Very frustrated today. I know it takes time to get comfortable with a new job but I am getting quite restless.

I hope it gets better for you soon!!!!!!

Hi Guys...
Stopping in to say hello. It's been snowing here today. So I've decided to stay inside and keep warm. Back to work tomorrow. My sis in law had the baby...A little girl...Avery...She is the sweetest thing ever. Hope everyone is doing well. =)

hey annette,

haven't seen you around for a while. hope you are doing well?

i'm craving a starbucks, i could murder a caramel macchiato. i would give anything to be snuggled up on the couch with one watching a christmas movie.

can't stop thinking about christmas, i just LOVE it, it gets better and better every year!

Its great to hear from you girls cheesy

Today has not started to well, I went down to the basement before work and we had quite the flood, the snow melting and it poured all night long, we have 1.5-2 inches of water through most of it. I called out from work to take care of it, I have been able to get rid of some so far, but I got a phone call from LC's daycare he has a fever and I went and picked him up, so now my work on the basement has taken a backseat. He is all sniffly and tired so if I can get him to take a nap it will probably be best. I guess this is when a day off is not a day off.

I hope you get the basement dried out quickly and that LC feels better soon!!!!!!!!!

The fun is just beginning!!!! My 18 month old's favorite word right now is NO. He never has told me this until just this week (he has learned from his 4 year old Brother).

 

[made582]

really have to get used to this getting up early, every day, thing. Going out in the truck today so it will be nice to get out of the classroom for awhile.

Hope you all have a fabulous day!!!

I hope you had a good day out in the truck!!!!!

Well here I am once again (but not as much as I would like to be here)..lots going on...busy with the kids. Starting to get some ideas for Easter. Looking forward to the spring and some nice weather to get these Boys outside in the fresh air! My 18 month old's favorite word is NO right now and he says it whenever I ask him to do something as he walks away... kids these days LOL. He is adorable though and its so hard not to laugh at them. Anyways I have a lot to catch up on so I hope everyone is doing well!

Good Afternoon Everyone!!!!!!! It is a cool and cloudy day here in central Indy. We are supposed to get heavy rain again on Wednesday and Thursday. I have been pretty lazy this morning. I didn't even get out of bed until 10am. Now I am working on getting my mom's laundry done for her and then I need to sweep and mop the kitchen. I hope everyone is having a GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

The light is always on for our Programming Director (and anyone else who needs a year-round dose of Christmas)!

xmas365, I sure hope your day improves so you can have a tranquil evening.

caninemom3, the roughest part of a new job is getting used to everything being done differently ... it should get easier to handle as you stick with it. I read a great quote once: "Consider the postage stamp. Its usefulness consists in sticking to one thing until it gets there." Better to have some work to struggle with than wondering where the work is.

All together, now:

Very frustrated today. I know it takes time to get comfortable with a new job but I am getting quite restless. The grass is never greener and I should have know that. I am now regretting leaving my old company. Still, if I went back and presuming they would rehire me, do I really want to be without work all the time ?? That is what prompted me to leave in the first place. At this point I just feel like throwing my hands in the air. I will persevere though.

I hope all gets better for you. I'm sure it will!

I miss the days of sleeping until 10, we are lucky if the boys let us sleep until 7:30
